Winter is in the air and that means exciting things for tennis players! It is that magical time of year when new products begin to come out seemingly every week. From racquets and strings to bags and clothes, every player has something to look forward to. Players who are fans of Dunlop are no exception. Dunlop is gearing up to freshen more of their Biomimetic line of frames. There will be new entries in the 2.0 series, an all-new 4.0 line and additions to the 6.0 and 7.0 model lines. That covers a wide range of abilities and play styles. Let’s take a quick look at each of new models...

Featuring red, white, and grey cosmetics, the Dunlop Biomimetic S 3.0 Lite is constructed with Aeroskin CX technology to enhance aerodynamic efficiency and BioFibre dampening for greater comfort and feel. The S 3.0 Lite has an open string pattern and weighs just under 10 ounces strung, so it is easy to control and create spin. The MoS2 grommet system reduces friction and allows the strings to further provide greater access spin and power. Designed with a rounder head shape than previous 300 models, this racquet also has an enlarged sweet spot. The S3.0 Lite is engineered to provide intermediate and developing players with impressive maneuverability, comfort, and decent power.

As an upgrade from the previous 300 Tour, the Dunlop Biomimetic F 3.0 Tour showcases its stability with improved maneuverability and control, allowing players to be aggressive from all areas of the court. Used by touring professional Jurgen Melzer, the F 3.0 Tour features Dunlop’s Aeroskin CX technology to enhance aerodynamic ability and BioFibre dampening to decrease shock and protect from harmful vibrations. MoS2 grommets reduce friction and allow the strings to have greater movement for increased spin and power. With a new black and red paint job covering the redesigned, rounder head shape, this racquet has a larger sweet spot than the previous 300 model. The F 3.0 Tour would be a great choice for aggressive players with long, quick swings playing at a 4.0 level or above.

Fernando Verdasco and Heather Watson’s racquet of choice, the Dunlop Biomimetic M 3.0 is a definite upgrade from Dunlop’s 16x19 Biomimetic 300. The M 3.0 is created with greater power and spin than previous frames in the 300 series. The open pattern grants access to spin and control, while the head light balance allows for greater power and maneuverability. Engineered with Aeroskin CX aerodynamic technology and BioFibre dampening, this frame is both maneuverable and comfortable. The MoS2 grommet system reduces friction and allows the strings to provide greater spin and power. Redesigned with a rounder head shape, this racquet also boasts a larger sweet spot than the previous 300 model. All-court players with faster swings who are seeking a versatile racquet with an emphasis on control and maneuverability should give the M 3.0 a try.

Dunlop said they learned from nature when they introduced their Biomimetic racquet line last year. Well, it appears they went back to school for 2012’s new Biomimetic F, M and S series (the letter designations signify Fast, Medium or Slow swing speeds). With these new options, you're sure to find a frame to fit your game style.
